Dear Members,

The committee members of 2010 are proud to present the official logo of CPA Australia Student Charter (Swinburne Sarawak).

The main attraction is the blue and yellow arrow surrounding the charter name which represents the official colours of CPA Australia. As for the direction of the arrows, it signifies that the charter is assisting in leading/ directing all its members to opportunities but at the same time members are the ones that makes the club thus the circular movement. Besides, it also signifies CPA Australia is always there to help us and always providing future opportunities.

We hope that the logo is an inspiration to all members and of course you will see a lot of this logo from now on. =)

Report: CPA "Around The World" Race

2009-11-03T21:11:00.016+08:00

*note: to our readers, sorry for this late post. I don't want to give reasons, just it is my fault that i forgot to post it up and left it in the drafts. Sorry yea > < ~Shariman*

Last Saturday, CPAASC 2009 organised the CPA ‘Around the World’ Race with 9 teams participating the event. Several stations were set up around Swinburne, including classrooms, the library, outstanding buildings and the car park in Swinburne. They were turned into ‘countries’ of the world, with Swinburne International Airport a.k.a. Lecture Theatre 4.01 being the main meeting point.

There were 10 stations representing 10 countries in all, and each stations poses unique challenges to each teams to complete.

Registration- picking the team colours.

Africa "Catch the Catch" (Station: behind Lecture Theatre)

Teams needed to fulfil three tasks; the most challenging one was to catch the fish in the basin, while the second task was to use your foot to search for the orange-coloured marble and thirdly, to pick out two 1-sen coins from the cloudy water basin.

Brazil "Balloon Throwing" (Station: 3rd floor corridor between Block B & E)

This is by far the most challenging one, where no teams managed to catch 5 out of 7 attempts. All of the teams have to receive penalties to make up for the lost balloons.

New Zealand "Ping Pong Search" (Station: old staff car park, the old CMM building)

Teams at this station needed to search for the ping pong ball in the basinful of flour by blowing it! Then, they had to scoop the ping pong ball up using a spoon with their mouths and to walk holding the spoon and ping pong ball by mouth, towards the designated area.

Canada "Find the Flag" (Station: Multistory Car park)

The taxing part of the races, as teams’ gruellingly climb up the various levels of the multi-storey car park in search of the coloured flags that can be at any floor, at any nook and cranny(Sorry no pics =/ ).

Singapore “Match the Nations” (Station: Level 2, Block G)

One of the easiest station out there, where teams need to find out what countries are the flags representing. Some teams managed to find out which countries in very short time, thanks to some 'map' in one of the lecturer's room ^^ (Sorry no pics =/ )

Japan " Find the Car?" (Station: between hostel and Chillipeppers)

Simple as a front, this station proved challenging as the location of thw car was not given, but instead they were told the region where the car could be located! Some teams had to walk from one side of the station to the car and back again. It was not that simple as it sounded.

India "Body Part Balloons" (Station: along corridor between Block B and Block G)

Teams needed to divide themselves into pairs, pick lots to choose which body part combination to use to carry the balloon to and fro. After completing their rounds, the teams then have to burst the balloon by using their body part that they drew from the lots.

At this, let the imagination run wild on how they are able to complete the task as some unfortunate teams drew combination of stomach- butt, knee-knee, and face-butt.

Australia "Food Challenge" (Station: Manna Zone, new Cafe)

Teams are to divide themselves into pairs, the same as at the India Station and fulfil all three challenges:

First, dry biscuits and chilli sauce;

Second, Drinking Challenge, and

lastly; sandwich of choice.

Europe "Multi-legged Race" (Station: Multi Purpose Hall)

For this station, each member was tied together at their legs and must complete the whole course of walking towards their objectives. At each designated stop area, they have to decrease a leg to continue the race towards the goal. This multi-legged race requires persistent teamwork, and well, a bit of patience to complete the whole course.

North Atlantic Ocean "Book Search" (Station: Library)

Teams need to copy down the reference code of text books given by the station master and then find the books and bring it to him. This can be considered as one of the easiest task as it was done in the cool, cool library.

After a gruelling day of highs and lows, running up and down searching for stations and completing the tasks, these are the teams that made it to the top and able to ‘conquer the world….’

In Third Place, Roti Canai Telur Bawang Team!

Second Place, The Gamers Team!

Finally, The Master and Conqueror of the ‘World,’ the Explorer Team~!

Congratulations to all the winners and participants! We are very happy with the participation rate and hoped that you had fun through out the entire process.

So now, don’t forget, there are two more upcoming events; ACCA Careers 2009 and CPA Summer Boot Camp. See you there~!

CPA Australia Undergraduate Conference 2009

2009-09-28T20:20:00.020+08:00

a

Dear members and loyal readers, the report of the Conference just came in (albeit very slow, sorry about that > <) We are very happy to announce that CPAASC have successfully organized the CPA AUSTRALIA UNDERGRADUATE CONFERENCE 2009 with the theme "Challenge the Boundaries" on Saturday, the 12 September 2009 where over 300 students have attended this huge event.

It was a great honour for us to be bless with exciting speakers, the first was the CEO of Money Tree Asia Pacific Limited, Mr Michael Reyes, the Representative from CPA Australia, Malaysia Division, Mr Gerard Fernandez and Representative from CPA Australia, Council Member of CPA Australia Malaysia Division, Dr. Edward Lim. Their presence is highly appreciated as they gave us a full serving of goodness while willingly freeing up their schedule for the day and not to forget to share with us a lot of meaningful experiences and knowledge of the corporate world.

Flow of event~

Registration of participants was being done at the Swinburne Block B Lobby. Can you see the crowd??? :D

Registration in progress...

So. Many. People. ^^

Launching of the Conference~

Ah, the surprise of the event, the “Flight CPA1209” Conference Now Boarding! Briefing

(There is a video regarding the briefing in our CPAASC Facebook page. Feel free to have a look ^^)

Presentation of Mementous~

Prof. Debiprasad Dash presenting a memento to FCPA Dr. Edward Lim.

FCPA Dr. Edward Lim presenting memento to Mr. Michael Reyes.

First Session~

The first speaker slot for the conference was done by Mr. Michael Reyes who kindly share his experience and give his speech of the topic "Challenges in Entrepreneurship and How to overcome it." Basically Mr Reyes talks about maintaining positive attitudes whenever facing challenges, always be true with own judgment, balancing of family and career and not just letting ourselves go with flow and caught with the growing problems in our lives til it is too late.

The talk itself is approximately 3 hours long, but it proves valuable as the speech was very exciting as Mr Michael Reyes relates his own experiences and told some exciting stories on people he have met when addressing the crowd. The crowd is pretty much entertained with the various segments of the stories, and were not shy to participate in asking and answering questions by Mr Michael Reyes.

Second Session~

After the lunch, the second session of the conference started with the speech done by Dr. Edward Lim with the topic "Challenge the Boundaries". Dr Edward’s slot was slotted to the third session where the second slot was allocated to CPA Australia representatives, but since there was a bit of technical problem and without wasting time, CPA Australia kindly pass the floor to Dr Edward to present his speech.

Dr Edward mainly talks of the coming challenges on the role of graduates as the new entrants into the corporate world. Once entering into this world, the challenges will be great as we are leaving our comfort zones as students/undergraduates in the university into the world, where it is completely unknown and always revolving. Thus it will serve us well to have the right attitude and making the best decision within the pressure to do well in our working life.

Considering that it was already in the afternoon, and it was after the lunch period, understandably everyone is getting kinda of sleepy. This does not escape the eyes of our esteemed speaker, and he brought the matter into his own hand by asking….

Everyone to stand up and do some "exercise". Haha^^

Third Session~

The third speaker of the event was Mr. Gerard Fernandez. He gave his speech about "CPA Australia - The Global Professional Accountancy Designation for Strategic Business Leaders." Mr Fernandez gave a brief overview on what CPA is currently doing and the updates that now more people can join CPA passport programme, where it is now open to people in numerous field, not only from the Accounting field. There are certain steps to be taken to pursue the coveted CPA membership. In opening its doors to people around the world within various fields, this helps to promote CPA and gave more value to its members from the attain knowledge from various fields.

The end of the speech at around 3pm mark the end of the conference, and now some pictures to commit the memory of the event~

Group Pictures~

Thank you all for your participation and support, we, CPAASC appreciates the effort of our participants of the day, and not forgetting our helpers for the event.

Past Sem Activity: RTM Trip

2009-08-13T10:19:00.008+08:00

Last semester, on the late afternoon of 15th of May 2009, the CPAASC have organized a trip to the RTM Kuching main office at Jalan P. Ramlee which is located just across Hopoh shopping mall. A total of 59 students including the CPA committee members have attended the event.

Upon arrival to RTM, we are welcomed by one of the RTM personnel and escorted to the meeting room to meet up with one of the senior manager who give us an overview on what RTM is all about. He also told of his experience in working in this field, where it is apparent that to get to where he is now, it takes years of working and involvement in different levels of broadcasting in radio, live shows and televisions just to be familiar with the whole thing.

After the talk, we were escorted to visit the recording department where RTM Kuching used to record their radio shows which is based on time slots. At the time, Sarawak fm were on air and we get to see how the dj interview one of the speaker of the day. After that we visited the Auditorium P Ramlee to look at the rehearsal for the Gawai celebration programme. According to the director, the props and recording the whole event which might be within the 10 minutes slots can cost up to approximately RM 20,000 and more. To ensure that there is no wastage for unnecessary footage, there are two time keepers who counted the time it takes to record the whole event.

After visiting the Auditorium, its time to go back. Before that, there are some group pics to be taken! So here they are, enjoy.. :)

CPA Kuching Member Centre Official Opening

2009-08-12T18:06:00.004+08:00

On Monday night, the 10th of August, CPAASC committees were invited to the official opening of the new CPA Kuching Member Centre and the launch for the Book Drive for the less fortunate students of SJK(C) Chung Hua Sambir, Kota Samarahan. The event was officiated by the CPA Australia President, Mr Richard Petty and notable attendees are Ms Audrey Danasamy, President of CPA KL, Ms Christina Foo, the President, various members of CPA working committee and our advisors, Mdm Su Sueh Ing and Mr Chan Soon Hua.

One interesting feature is the changes in the requirements for the CPA Passport programme highlighted by the CPA President, Mr Richard Petty. From the gist of it, the new improved programme will enable more people to apply for the passport programme and become a CPA member. One example given by Mr Petty is that the old programme requirement used to stress the importance of accredited degree by the CPA to be able to apply.

The book drive is one of the initiatives by CPA Australia to improve people views on what the organisation is doing and also to improve their Corporate Social Responsibility. Mr Petty also stated that CPA Australia is the only one (among all the other accounting bodies) to have done this community service so far.

L-R: Dr Edward Lim, Nancy Chan, Kay Wee, Edina Chong, Lilian Lai, Mr Chan, Choulyin Tan, Mr Richard Petty, Ms Christina Foo, Ronnie Teo, Mdm Su, Jacob Kueh, Shariman, Ms Audrey Danasamy.

And here writing down their attendance... Don't forget to do this in our event! Crucially important, because here is where evaluate whether you're eligible for the certificates or not..

After all that (phew!) the committee group together for a photo session with the people from MAA Assurance. A big thank you for MAA Assurance, and to our members, don't forget to join in our next event in the month of May!
